She's found her true calling
An Original And Good Take On The 'Violent Vigilante Superhero' Style Of Book Kate Spencer is a California prosecutor who, after losing another case against a killer metahuman, takes it upon herself to beginning meting out her own brand of lethal street justice. Arming and outfitting herself with various paraphenelia from the evidence store rooms (obtained from various villains) she takes on the identity of Manhunter (a popular moniker for DC characters, as someone in the book points out) and begins her vigilante career. That's "Manhunter" on the surface, sounding like an attempt to give the DC Universe its own Punisher-type character, or even like an attempt to amp up the aggressiveness-level o. A fantastic read cover to cover Alex Violette I got into this series a while ago largely because the writer had implored people to give his book a shot, and I am so glad I did.

"Collection Greater than the Sum of its Parts" according to Jack E. Holt, III. Well, this collection proves why some books NEED to be collected.As a comics fan, I suffer from having too many good titles to choose from. I admit that I passed up the individual issues of Manhunter as each one came out. No single issue seemed to grab my attention enough to have me pull out my billfold and buy it.What's worse, the title "Manhunter" has been used before for two of DC Comics most innovative and affecting series-- one with the team of Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson and the other written by John Ostrander with Kim Yale. Tough competition.So I missed out when the issues collected here came out. My mistak
